REDERIET ERIK WINTHER.

Stewart and Styring’s attribution of a red-white-red triband with a red cross to Winther is incorrect: that design belongs to Havenbedrijf Mabesoone. Rosanoski identifies the preceding Stewart flag, with the same bands and a red diamond frame enclosing a red W, as Winther’s. Brown 1982 omits the frame and gives the W a more ornate form. FOTW’s initial erroneous illustration was replaced following Rosanoski’s advice.

The company website supplies W236’s flag. Rosanoski considers the narrow red fly stripe in Ivan Sache’s W235 portrayal probably a device separating the logo’s white band from the webpage background, rather than part of the flag. The logo differs from Brown’s ornate W; whether Brown is inaccurate or a later change occurred remains uncertain.

The Karen Winther photograph supplies W236’s funnel. Its white base might instead be considered part of the superstructure, giving the W404 treatment. Mitchell’s W404 probably derives from the same vessel’s line drawing; the photograph does not clearly resolve the markings.
